The river is deeper where the city proper is and then hits a shallower point as the east fork diverges, hence it is still a bit wider, but the water volume is constant.
Looking good so far except for this: unless one of the forks is actively managed (dredged out, reinforced, etc.) you won't get a river splitting like this. Rivers join; they don't split unless you're dealing with a delta or man-made channels. See the How to get your rivers in the right place sticky in the tutorial section for details.
